I couldn't understand how any minimal VM build could succeed**. I can 
only guess that it is due to precompiled headers pulling in 
arguments.hpp in one case but not another - though I can't say why 
fastdebug and slowdebug should behave differently ??

In JPRT we build product and fastdebug.

Thanks,
